Below is a list of guest appearances RL made in various programs, including talk shows and game shows. I'm sure the list is incomplete, but it's the most accurate information I have at this time. If anyone knows of anything else he's appeared in or sees any mistakes, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know.
 
I hope to eventually review all of his guest appearances, and have already completed a few.  The reviews (which can be found by clicking on the shows that are in black text instead of red) contain information about the episode, screen caps, credits, etc...  PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE REVIEWS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS - INFORMATION THAT CAN "SPOIL" THE ENDING IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY SEEN IT. 
 
If you would like to write your own review of any (or all!) of RL's guest appearances, I would love to hear from you.  I know there are a lot of details that I miss, and getting other fans' perspectives will make the guide more complete.  All you have to do to submit a review is click on the link below:
